Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease which commonly affects skin and nails. The other parts are scalp, joints etc. People think it is an infectious disease but in reality it is non infectious in nature.
It is some times seen in families showing some genetic component. In our practice we founf it more commonly in smokers than non smokers. It is a chronic recurrent problem marker by relapses. It is known in literture to be affected by usage of allopathic medicines, sun, stress etc.
It is generally termed as incurable disease in allopathic and traditional medicine.
Whereas, we have seen over hundred patients which have been not only relieved through our advanced homeopathic medicines at mediplex but also cured. The proofs and record are kept at our clinic and we are sharing with online patients of psoriasis. We will be adding photographs as well as live videos of patients suffering from psoriasis as well as people who have been cured. Cure means cure not relief for 1 season or two. We follow up our patients for 2-10 years just to ascertain and prove our therapies work.
Now we will share cases of several patients
A) Simran 19/Female was suffering from severe psoriasis of soles with cracks and pain. Pain was so severe that she used to cry and weep, her daily actvities such as ging to college or school was affected. She could not go to social parties due to bad condition of her feet. Even in summers she used to wear socks. Her photographs for first day of consultation are at www.mediplex.in/skin/cases/simran.html and video also. After a month of treatment she was dramatically relieved and was able to walk and attend to her college.

Other instructions from older GM plans
During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol
You must drink 10 glasses of water each day
Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.
Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.
Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.
Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.
Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.
Day Six Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.
Day Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.
Tomorrow morning you will be 10-17 lbs. lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in addition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne for white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic beverages with the exception of beer which is allowed. Any liquor (bourbon,vodka, rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. You may have an occasional cordial such as creme de menthe or schnapps, but you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only wine that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol adds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will help your digestion and settle your stomach.
G.M.'S Wonder Soup
The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume large quantities of this soup.
28 oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and Flavouring as desired.
Additional Comments
Vegetables as may be taken in the form of a salad if desired. No dressing except malt, white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs. No more than one tea spoon of oil.
You have been given a recipe for the WONDER SOUP which can be eaten in unlimited quantities. This soup is a supplement while you are on the program and it should be a pleasure to eat. Not everyone likes cabbage, green peppers, calory etc. This recipe is not inflexible. You may substitute vegetables according to your taste. You may add any vegetables you like: asparagus, peas, corn, turnips, green beans, cauliflower, etc. Try to stay away from beans (lima, pinto, kidney, etc.), however, because they tend to be high in calories even though they are very good for you.
Beverages you may consume while on the program :
Water (flavoured with lemon/lime if desired).
Club Soda is OK.
Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness.
Black Tea = Herb or Leaf.
Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices which are part of day seven. No fruit juices before day seven.
How and Why It Works
Day One you are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. Your only source of nutrition is fresh or canned fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food. They provide everything you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.
Day Two starts with a fix of complex carbo-hydrates coupled with an oil dose. This is taken in the morning for energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.
Day Three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from the fruits. You system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will still have cravings which should start to diminish by day four.
Day Four, bananas, milk and soup sound the strangest and least desirable. You're in for a surprise. You probably will not eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the past three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets. You will be surprised how easy this day will go.
Day Five, Beef and tomatoes. The beef is for iron and proteins, the tomatoes are for digestion and fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies your system. You should notice colourless urine today. Your allowance calls for the equivalent of five "quarter ponders". Do not feel you have to eat all this beef. You must eat the six tomatoes.
Day Six is similar to day five, Iron and proteins from beef, Vitamins and fibre from vegetables. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today, compared to day one.
Day Seven finished off the program like a good cigar used to finish off Victorian meals, except much healthier. You have your system under control and it should thank you for the flushing and cleaning you just gave it.

Weight Loss Helps in increasing immunity, Study Finds
Modest weight loss appears to reverse many of the damaging changes often seen in the immune cells of obese people, particularly those with Type 2 diabetes, according to a new research.
The recent study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology Metabolism looked at 13 obese people with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes who were limited to a diet of between 1000 and 1600 calories a day for 24 weeks. Gastric banding was performed at 12 weeks to help restrict food intake further.
The results showed an 80% reduction of pro-inflammatory T-helper cells, as well as reduced activation of other circulating immune cells (T cells, monocytes and neutrophils) and decreased activation of macrophages in fat.
The immune system is made up of many different kinds of cells that protect the body from germs, viruses and other invaders. These cells need to co-exist in a certain balance for good health to be maintained. Many factors, including diet and excess body fat, can tip this balance, creating cells that can attack, rather than protect, our bodies.
It has been known for some time that excess body fat, particularly abdominal fat, triggers the production of 'pro-inflammatory' immune cells, which circulate in the blood and can damage our bodies.
"Excess weight disorders now affect 50% of adult Australians, with obesity being the major cause of Type 2 diabetes and some cancers," said Katherine Samaras from Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research. "The situation has reached crisis point, and people must be made aware that excess fat will affect their immune systems and therefore their survival."

Reducing weight can reduce your risk of diabetes by half !
Recently Australian scientists as well as Mediplex doctors have shown that modest weight loss can make a big difference to health. It is a documented fact that overweight patients are more prone to suffer from diabetes.
This is because excess body fat triggers the production of inflammatory reactions and reduce insulin sensitivity, harden arteries and cause type 2 diabetes.
But now scientists say modest weight loss could bring down production of those attacking immune cells to the same level found in lean people.
For 55-year-old Delhi Business Man, Mr. Malhotra, the battle with weight gain began at an early age.
"My first memory of being overweight is probably in primary school when my mother and family sent me away to some friend's farm and they had lots of scones and jam and cream there," he said.
"I came back and my mother said she would have to get a new uniform for me. So I've been overweight since then.
"In 1988 I was 112 (kilograms). At that stage I started working and went up, at the worst, to 135 (kilograms)."
That is when Mr Malhotra's doctor diagnosed him with type 2 diabetes and told to him to lose weight if he wanted to avoid having to take daily injections of insulin.
So that is what he did, with the help of Mediplex Program www.mediplex.in.
"I had the surgery in November 2007 and I was 125 (kilograms) ... and I'm down to about 88 at the moment," he said.
Along the way, the advancing diabetes has been reversed.
"All my medications have been reduced in half," Mr Malhotra said.
He was one of 20 obese patients monitored for a landmark study conducted looking at the benefits of weight loss.
The Doctors at Mediplex Health conducted the study and similar results were reported at australian university.
"What we showed for the first time was that the inflammation that's in the circulation and in fat tissue that characterises the obesity that's associated with diabetes can be pretty much gutted by modest weight reduction," she said.
"I was heartened by it, deeply heartened I must say, because most people struggle so much to lose any amount of weight and here we can show a profound benefit with even a small weight reduction."
And it is cheaper than some of the options.
"People are spending hundreds, if not thousands of dollars each year buying antioxidants and taking fish oils and all sorts of other things which are supposed to have anti-inflammatory action," she said.
"A little bit of calorie restriction and a modest amount of weight reduction will have a profound benefit."
While the study is an important advance for obese people with diabetes and other associated ailments, Professor Samaras says people are much better off if they avoid becoming obese in the first place.

Biggest Looser Contest : Is it Safe
Recently an australian has become the first woman to win The Biggest Loser, shedding nearly half her body weight to win the contest.
Lisa Hose, 41, was crowned the winner on Sunday night’s finale of the reality television show, having trimmed down to a svelte 65.7 kilograms.
Ms Hose, who has two daughters aged 12 and 14, entered the competition weighing 121.9 kilograms, but managed to lose 56.2 kilograms during five months of intensive training. She will also take home $370,000 in prize money.
Before...Lisa Hose
An education assistant who works with disabled children, Ms Hose toppled Queensland’s Joe Medway, 21, who lost 82.7 kilograms to become runner-up in the closest final of the show’s history.
The biggest male contestant, 24-year-old Victorian Shannon Bourke, originally weighed 214.3 kilograms but finished in third place after losing nearly 90 kilograms. It was the largest weight loss by any contestant across all series, but the winner is the person who loses the largest percentage of their body weight.
Ms Hose said the experience had far exceeded her expectations.
"All I ever wanted from The Biggest Loser was to get my weight off and be a better role model to my beautiful daughters and to make my husband proud," she said.
"I could never have done it without the support of my trainer Shannan Ponton. Thanks to him, I am looking forward to a new beginning with my family."

The biggest male contestant, 24-year-old Victorian Shannon Bourke, originally weighed 214.3 kilograms but finished in third place after losing nearly 90 kilograms. It was the largest weight loss by any contestant across all series, but the winner is the person who loses the largest percentage of their body weight.
Ms Hose said the experience had far exceeded her expectations.
"All I ever wanted from The Biggest Loser was to get my weight off and be a better role model to my beautiful daughters and to make my husband proud," she said.
"I could never have done it without the support of my trainer Shannan Ponton. Thanks to him, I am looking forward to a new beginning with my family."

Does dieting or cutting calories always help ?
If you are looking at loosing weight by simply cutting your calorie intake. Expert says it is not enough to prompt significant weight loss. This has been point of debate. According to research focused on a overweight monkeys at the Oregon National Primate Research Center were fed to a high-fat diet for several years before a switch to standard monkey food, with 30 per cent fewer calories. Thereafer monkeys' weight and activity levels were tracked over a month. This group of monkeys showed much less than expected weight loss but this group also showed reduced activity. The reason could be lowering of BMR or activation of alternating biochemical pathways to reduce calorie expenditure. Further reduction of physical activity marked that why low calories diet fail to reduce weight.
Only monkeys fed standard food who also ran on a treadmill for an hour every day lost a significant amount of weight.
In a similar study at Mediplex Weight Loss Institute, we found that people who are only dieting through other dieticians tend to be lethargic and less motivated to do exercise. They were loosing less weight than people who were undergoing our complete program which includes yoga, exercise, meditation, machines, as well as special diet plan which was varying every third day. Patients of this group felt healthier and happy: more motivated and lost more weight than inactive group.

Obese Women Who Have Weight Loss Prior to Pregnancy Have Fewer Complications, Study Shows
Obese Women Who Have Weight Loss Prior to Pregnancy Have Fewer Complications, Study Shows

April 14, 2010 -- Weight loss before pregnancy may help prevent complications for obese women.
High blood pressure, or preeclampsia, which raises the risk of premature birth and infant death are more common in obese women
In a new study, researchers found that obese women who had weight loss surgery prior to becoming pregnant were 75% less likely to have pregnancy complications related to high blood pressure than women who had the surgery after pregnancy.
Researchers say about a third of women of reproductive age in the U.S. are obese, defined as having a body mass index (BMI, a measurement of weight in relation to height) over 30, and 6%-8% are morbidly obese, with a BMI over 40.
For many of these women, weight loss through mediplex system is effective weight loss option. But researchers say little is known about the impact of weight loss surgery on the risk of pregnancy complications.
In the study, published in British Medical Journal, researchers compared the risk of high blood pressure-related pregnancy complications in 585 obese women aged 16-45 who had weight loss before or after pregnancy from 2002 to 2006.
The results showed that nearly 15% of women who delivered before weight loss had preeclampsia or eclampsia (the final stage of preclampsia if left untreated) compared to about 3% of women who had the surgery before delivery.
Overall, obese women who had weight loss surgery before pregnancy were 80% less likely to develop preeclampsia and eclampsia during pregnancy, and the risk of other blood pressure-related complications was also lower.
These lower rates of pregnancy complications were still evident after adjusting for the mother’s age at delivery, multiple pregnancy (twins or more), type of weight loss surgery, pre-existing diabetes, and type of health insurance.
Researcher Wendy L. Bennett, assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and colleagues say the results suggest that weight loss surgery should be considered for women of childbearing age with a BMI of 40 or more or a BMI of 35 or more with associated health problems.
In addition, they say more study is needed to examine long-term maternal and child health after pregnancies and deliveries following weight loss surgery

Revolutionary Height Increase Program of Mediplex
Revolutionary Height Increase Program of Mediplex
Forget about growth hormone injection or limb lengthening operation. They are way to expensive and dangerous for you. What you need is a safe, effective and affordable way to grow taller naturally and easily by using homeopathic medicine
it is seen that short height people are always tensed because of their height. Now you all can take a deep breath as now your height problem will be solved by Homeopathic treatment, yoga and nutritional counseling and supplement.
The homeopathic medicine acts mainly on three sites:-
1. Increase Growth Hormones Production
a. The growth is not only dependent on genetic but hormones equally plays important role in body's growth.
b. Your growth potential reduces especially after puberty because your pituitary gland becomes inactive. This medicine stimulates the pituitary gland to increased production of natural level of growth hormones, which causes growth of the cartilaginous portions of the vertebrae and the long bones.
2. Cartilages Growth
Al though most of your bones can't grow any longer after puberty, the articular cartilages that connect many bones can still grow thicker. Besides the distal potion on each vertebrae, the distal end of Femur and the proximal end of Tibia each can grow up to an inch, which gives another 2 inches extra height.
3. Spinal Column Extension
The Spinal column in upper body contributes significantly to r height because it accounts for 35% of total height.
One important component of the spine is inter-vertebral discs. These discs are located between each of 33 vertebrae. On average, your total discs account for one-quarter the length of your vertebral column - 4.5 to 6 inches for most people.
The thicker the discs, the longer your spinal column is and the taller you become.
Homeopathic medicine allows your height by expanding the discs and lengthening your spine.
Recent scientific research has proven that most young adults can still grow a few inches taller even after the bones in their lower body have become ossified. This is because besides the length of the femur bone, tibia bone, and other bones in the lower body, the length of the spinal column in the upper body also significantly contributes to human height.
One of the main questions people have about growing taller is whether it’s possible to grow taller even after puberty?
Yes, it is possible. We have many cases of customers in their late 20's and 30's and even beyond have reported positive results from our system and have grown several inches taller.
